The Merry Play between John John the Husband, Tib his Wife, and Sir John, the Priest is a Tudor era farcical comedic interlude written in 1520 and first published in 1533 by English playwright John Heywood. It relates the tale of a common Englishman who believes his wife to be cheating on him with the local priest. The play can be said to contain elements of a medieval morality play, but as the characters are not simple abstract personifications of a vice or virtue, John John can be seen to forge a link between the simpler morality plays of the medieval period, and the complex drama of the early modern period.
